Parent guide
Use short, real-world conversations. Ask your child to point to the habitat, name the stage, or explain the safe choice before you add the science word. If you can, use a backyard view, a garden, or a photo to keep the ideas concrete.
Completion
A student finishes when they can explain where an insect lives, tell the stages of a butterfly's life cycle, and describe at least one safe way to observe a small animal.
